Plot

One fish is doing the boating course perfectly with Mrs. Puff, and then its SpongeBob's turn. Soon, Mrs. Puff realizes SpongeBob is afraid of the course and has him drive on an abandoned road where he passes his test and gets a license. But, police had seen them and thought they were reckless drivers because Mrs. Puff crossed the county line which she shoudn't have done. At the end the police officer rips up SpongeBob's license. As Mrs. Puff's going to jail she says "I will get you, SpongeBob! I will get you!" and it ends.

Trivia

• Nickelodeon featured SpongeBob's "Biggest Boating Blunders" which is a marathon with many boat-related episodes leading up to this episode such as Doing Time, Boating Buddies, and No Free Rides.
• Charles returned as a character in a show two fish are watching.
• This episode was originally going to be aired with Little Yellow Book but the episode was moved to November 25, 2012.
• Once again Mrs. Puff's master plan to pass SpongeBob is fatally flawed.
• This episode appears to be the reverse of !"Mrs. Puff, You're Fired". SpongeBob, in this episode, appears to drive well by "focusing on the road". In the episode Mrs. Puff, You're Fired, SpongeBob drove well by not focusing on the road at all since he was blindfolded.
  • Funny, in both of these episodes, SpongeBob managed to parallel park the boat.
• The title card background music is the same as New Student Starfish? and? Mrs. Puff, You're Fired.
• For some reason Mrs. Puff was the only one arrested and SpongeBob was the one who was driving the boat. This is probably because Mrs. Puff is responsible for SpongeBob since she is his driving teacher or because she crossed over the county line 3 miles back.
• This is the fifth time Mrs.Puff went to jail,the first one was Hall Monitor,the second was Doing Time,the third was Summer Job,the fourth was Oral Report.

Goofs

• When Mrs. Puff was thrown into the policecar, she was wearing hand cuffs. When she appeared at the window threatening to get SpongeBob, her hand cuffs were suddenly gone.
• When the policeman first yelled at SpongeBob, he had a megaphone. In the next shot after SpongeBob accidently sped up, the policeman's megaphone was suddenly gone though it was never shown when he put it away.
• When the policeman came up to Mrs. Puff the security cuff on her ankle dissapears (also mentionede missing during the exam), then when she looks down at her ankle, it reappears.
